Ultra-heavy Module road for the Exxon GCGV project near Corpus Christi, TX
Corpus Christi, Texas USA – Exxon Mobil road project completed with Terra Pave White - Ultra-heavy Module for the Exxon GCGV project near Corpus Christi, TX. This was 4.5 miles x 108 feet wide of heavy haul road (HHR) supporting up to 140psi SPMT wheel loads transporting up to 12,000 Metric Tonne modules. There were over 100 transport runs with over 30 ultraheavy modules. The design was for 10,000 cumulative axle passes over any one point. We used unsurfaced roadway design techniques and full-scale testing to develop and confirm the final section which consisted of 8” of Texas Flexible Base over Tensar TX-160 over 12” of lime treated medium plasticity clay (untreated CBR of 2 to 3). Automatic Plate Load Testing was performed by Ingios. The surface had to be very flat to accommodate the 108’ wide loads within the elevation adjusting range of the SPMT wheels. To help reduce water infiltration on the flat surface the aggregate was treated with TPWhite. This was a winning combination and performed as intended with minimal required maintenance over the 18-month window that the HHR was in use. The surface will now be converted to a roadway for use by the GCGV Plant and the City.
